Surgery –check!

So I had my surgery last friday.  I am glad that I did it.  My lady parts were fugged up.  I was diagnosed with PCOS about 17 years ago.  This turned out to not be the condition I had.  I had stromal hyperthecosis.  Basically this means that I had severely elevated testosterone and hair growth.  Throw in some male pattern thinning of the hair…I guess I was like a dude hormonally.  My testost, level was 3 times that of a man.  She told me that is untreated, I would have a deep voice and become an asshole.  Seriously, I will never be able to conceive again. Plus I am with a chick so that makes it extra hard =)

The surgery itself was painless.  Took about 2 hours.  It took longer than it was suppose to because my left ovary was scarred for an unknown reason and it was growing into my ureter.  He had to scrap the adhesions off. He told Deanna it seemed like I had surgery before because of the scarring…but I havent.  Just a baby 18 yrs ago and a D&C years ago due to a miscarriage.  Nothing ovarian wise.  Anyway, they removed everything.  Ovaries, cervix, uterus and fallopian tubes.  I kinda feel empty…but I feel better. I had just started noticing in the last month that I always had this burning sensation in my pelvic region. I mentioned it to Deanna a few times.  That sensation is gone.  I have had ZERO% surgery pain.  Just some discomfort from nausea and vomiting.  When I say "some" I mean a shit ton.  If I hadnt thrown up and felt like it, I could have seriously gone back to work the next day.  Anyway, I got some Zofran….which didnt help much….then I got some Visteril.  That is my magic pill. That pill can stop a migraine, stop vomiting…and rock you to sleep. 

I appartently sang 99 bottles of beer on the wall my night in the hospital.  I also told Deanna alot about Pinterest.  I kept saying different sayings.  I told her that I wanted to slap someone but I didnt want to get slut on my hand. 

I dont return to work until Monday.  I have a post op appointment tomorrow.  I have already started my hormone replacement therapy.  Its a tiny amount of estrogen gel that I run on the inside of my thigh.  Simple!

Nothing else going on here.  Stay classy girls.
